It's a nice idea but I don't want anyone in my real life visiting this board and I'm afraid they might if they saw me drinking out of a FOH coffee cup.

Sorry man. It's a really bad time to have to buy a vehicle. I had planned to buy a new pickup for the ranch this fall but had to put it off because of the drought and spending $80,000 on hay for this winter but in a way it might be a good thing since it seems like not the time to be car shopping.

I considered starting this thread and calling it "2021 NFL Season: The quest to deny Tom Brady an 8th ring." I think this one is better though.

Bummer. Is it totaled? Looks pretty fixable from the picture but I know you can't always see it.

Yeah, LTE around here is usually around 7-10mbps if you can get it. I do have decent coverage at my house but my family just a quarter mile down the road doesn't.

It's a common thing, just called a generator cut-off or a transfer switch. Generally it's at your meter. It's important that if you're going to electrify your house wiring that you're disconnected from the grid so some power company employee doesn't think the power is off and get electrocuted...

BTW, this is a regular season game. Why is it being discussed in the offseason thread?

I don't know what code even means with regard to a well but there's nothing technical about them. It's just a hole in the ground that you stick a pump down. Just measure the depth with string and a bottle, have the water tested and see if it will kill you, then get a pump and hook power up to...

Watt brothers vs. Bosa brothers for all time greatest brother defensive line duos? I think JJ outclasses Joey so it comes down to Nick vs. TJ which we won't know the answer to for a few years.

Nothing JJ did in football impressed me more than this. How in the hell can a 288lb dude do that?

Valentina Black label is my main hot sauce too. It tastes a lot like Cholula but a bit hotter and like 1/10th the price for some reason. I go through a 34oz jar of it every couple months (which costs like $2.50). Tapatio is also super cheap but these days the big bottle of Tapatio lasts way...

Thanks. Yeah I think I was capped at 35GB which was up from 15 a few years ago. In a way it didn't matter that much because the regular service was so crappy it was hard to tell if I was throttled sometimes. Starlink is totally unlimited so far.

Never tried Biltong but Facebook and Instagram are constantly trying to sell it to me. Is there a good brand to try and see what it's like?

Those "best by" dates are just there because they hope you will throw it away and buy a new one. If you don't open those bottles they will last way longer than November.

I got my starlink set up and it's a game changer. The internet just works now. It's amazing after 12 years of being barely functional online. This speedtest from the first day got me excited... Haven't seen that again, but the fast ones are around 150Mbps and the slow ones are around 65...

Would never want another kitchen gadget that does the exact same thing as a pot of water on the stove. Why?

I think goats are pretty lucrative if you have a place to market them. They are hard to keep fenced in though and they've been known to get an idea in their head and take off and go for miles sometimes. They will also get on your car/roof if you let them.

That's what I thought, but then I'm not sure what the point of switching to gas would be. Just so you can use the kitchen stove burners when the power is out?

If the goal is just to not have to depend on the electrical grid, just get a wood stove in addition to your current appliances. If you don't like cutting wood you can use your electric heat and just have wood as a backup. They even make ones that you can cook on, although a grill on the back...

It would be pretty obvious. It would say on it that it's GFCI and have some sort of a test button which a normal breaker wouldn't have.

They very cleverly made two patterns that work most of the way down but if you go all the way with it 21-13 does not equal 7.

If the light your dimmer switch is controlling is working then it's probably not related unless the outlets are on the same circuit and you disconnected them when you put in the dimmer. That would be a weird way to wire something but people do weird shit all the time. Make sure the breaker...

Snap rings are the worst, even if you have the pliers.

So clearly we need to start launching all of our shit into outer space so by the time the sun burns out we will have a big enough shit ball keep earth warm.

I liked Last Week Tonight for a while but between the sanctimoniousness and the just plain silliness and over reliance on gross out humor I can't take it anymore. I heard an interview with Stewart a few months ago and all he wanted to talk about was his animals on his "farm" and how they made...

Quarterbacks with cut abs are focusing on the wrong thing. The greatest QBs from history mostly have doughy bellies just like Mac Jones. You want your QB eating Cheetos and watching film all day, not spending all his time in the weight room.

Mining water on the moon would theoretically be cheaper to supply space ships or ? It's not like we have a shortage of it on earth and moving it from one place to another on earth is a hell of a lot easier than getting it down from the moon. Ditto for rare earth minerals. They come from China...

Don't knock the eocboost until you try it. It doesn't sound all that manly, but it gets up and goes.

Yeah those little Honda generators have been $900-$1200 for years now. I really want one because they are so quiet and portable but I can't really justify it when I have other generators. Those things are so nice to carry around though. And yeah, I've said it before but both Honda and Briggs...

Anybody tried the new Ford 7.3L gas engine? I'm maybe buying a new pickup next year and I'm pretty intrigued by it. I would like to have a diesel but it just chaps my ass paying $10,000 more so I don't have to drop down to 45mph the 15 times a year I pull a heavy trailer up a big hill.

That's a deep rabbit hole. There's a wide range of prices and varied opinions on catalyst vs. no catalyst etc. Surprisingly complicated for a metal box with a chimney coming out the top.

Assuming your 3d printer will work for thousands of years. And what happens when you run out of whatever material you're using to print with? Building something to travel through space and support a population of humans with absolutely no outside inputs for many generations is about 10 orders...

And not many machines last more than 10 years without significant repairs. Even if you take 10 spares of every moving part on the ship you're probably going to be out of them in a couple hundred years unless you come across intergalactic pep boys along the way.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/08/21/nick-bosas-recovery-could-have-the-49ers-star-better-than-his-rookie-year/amp/ I sure hope this guy can stay healthy. I'm getting pretty excited about the 9ers defensive line this year.

I have lots of Craftsman hand tools. It's fine and lifetime guaranteed and you don't feel too bad about it if you lose it. Some of the fancy stuff is a little nicer in that it has a better finish and feels better in your hand, but if you're not using them every day you pay a lot for a little...

Ooh I wish I had some of Tony Hawk's blood. Oh wait, no I don't.

100% true. You always imagine people judging you as you drive up or whatever, but most people don't care at all or even pay attention.

Financially the best way to own a car is to buy one used, say 2-3 years old, and pay cash for it, and drive it for 10 years or until it starts to have major repairs and save up for the next one in the mean time. That's just from a financial aspect. It's hard to do once you're in the cycle of...

Pecan sandies say you're wrong.

I think LA has decided that drafting is overrated. Blame Jared Goff I guess, but
